OK nkras you trluly sound skeptical that there even is a CG. Please don't
tell me there is no hope. I know the score in that game. If you think
there's no CG of any value, if that is your pholosophical orientation, let me
know so we don't overdance our tango.
Thomas Frank says the best way out of this corporate cul-de-sac we're in is
for the Democrats to run, and win, on an FDR-type program. He said in the
past, pre 9/11, that we needed that.
Factually now we are really in that kind of fix. This bubble is popping and
I don't think launching bombs is the answer. Who's at the helm? Are the
geniuses? Geniuses of leadership in democracy?
Maybe there is no such thing now or ever, it's utopian scheize, and doesn't
exist.
Or febrile juvenile marxism bred of the sweat of sloth.
